The Gretsch Energy series is a complete, ready-to-play drum kit designed to deliver that iconic Gretsch sound and quality straight out of the box. Each kit comes with everything a new drummer needs, including sturdy double-braced hardware, pedals and a Paiste 101 Cymbal Pack featuring hi-hats, crash and ride cymbals. Since cymbals are often the weakest point on beginner kits, the inclusion of this high-quality Paiste set provides exceptional value and long-term durability, giving players peace of mind and a professional edge from their very first session.
Gretsch has infused the Energy series with many of the features found on their higher-end kits, ensuring beginners and developing drummers can enjoy that unmistakable Gretsch tone. The drums are built from 7-ply poplar shells with 30-degree bearing edges, offering a warm, balanced sound with plenty of projection. Each kit also comes fitted with Remo drumheads as standard, ensuring a consistent, musical tone right out of the box. With these professional-grade details, the Energy series truly lives up to Gretsch’s reputation for craftsmanship and sound excellence.
Available in a choice of three attractive finishes – Wine Red, Black and Grey Steel – the Gretsch Energy series offers both style and substance. Players can choose between 20″ or 22″ bass drum configurations, allowing them to tailor the setup to their size and preferred sound. The 22″ option provides a full, rounded tone with extra low-end warmth, while the 20″ bass drum delivers a punchier, more focused sound ideal for smaller drummers or compact setups. With its blend of quality, versatility and iconic tone, the Gretsch Energy is the perfect kit for those starting their drumming journey with serious intent.
